[Am] Keep you in the dark, [Bm] you [Am] know they [F#] all [F] pretend
[Am] Keep you in the [Bm] dark and [Am] so [F#] it all [F] began
[E] Slamming [A] your tethered heads
Swing as they're supposed to, marching in

Beneath your [Am] buried teeth
Secrets that you keep forever
Ready, are you ready?
I'm [A] finished making sense
Sunfading ignorance that holds
I'm [Am] defenseless
[A] Spending infamous teeth for
The realest in me
[F#] It's never [Am] ending, never ending
[D] [A] Same [F#] old [C] story
[Am] What if I say I'm not like the others?
What [C] if I say I'm not [F#] just another one in your play?
You're the [F] pretender
What if I say I'll never surrender?

I'm the hand [D] that will take [Am] you down, you'll look to your loose.
[A] So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are [D] you?
